Chapter 34: The Beacon Hengqin (4)

When the brother and sister were happy to renew the old days, a black shadow flashed outside the tent, and they bowed their heads and said respectfully, "The general is well." ’

The sudden interruption, Ye Jin suddenly felt disappointed, frowned dissatisfied, and replied lazily, "It's late at night, what's the matter with Lord Qingfu?" ’

Qingfu listened to his tone, was stunned outside the tent, and bowed his hand respectfully, "I don't know if the princess has ever been to the general's place?" ’

Ye Jin glanced at Shui Fu, and saw that she pulled the corner of her clothes uneasily, her eyes were full of begging, and she didn't feel a sour heart, she raised her hand and touched her black hair, turned her head and said, "No." The royal order received by Lord Qingfu is to protect the safety of the princess, at this time, the princess is missing, you better look elsewhere! His voice suddenly became distant, as if it were a reminder, as if it were a reproach. "If Princess Furong makes a mistake, I'm afraid that the adults are at the king's place, and it will be difficult to explain." ’

Qingfu lowered his head and smiled slightly, guessing that the princess was here, it was difficult to say, so he pretended to be in a hurry, "What the general said is that Qingfu will look elsewhere." ’

Shui Fu was behind Ye Jin, watching the black shadow reflected on the curtain gradually fade away, and then she poked her head out happily, stuck out her tongue, and snuggled up to his side. Shui Fu glanced at Ye Jin gratefully, pulled him to sit down, her hands were dexterous, and her gestures were constant, Ye Jin saw that her gestures were fast, overwhelmed, and she was busy holding down, "You slow down, I don't have time to figure it out." ”

After Qingfu left, a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and sighed, "Hey, this girl." ’

Without thinking much about it, he entered the big tent step by step, lifted the curtain of the tent, and a bright young man appeared in front of him, stepped forward to take the sword in his hand, bowed his head and said respectfully, "My lord." ’

Qingfu turned his head and smiled at him, not saying a word. The young man was a little anxious, stepped forward, wanted to ask something, his lips moved, and he swallowed back.

Qing Fu raised his eyes to know his intentions, and laughed, "Ming Ze doesn't have to worry, the princess is at the general's place." ’

Before the words fell, his eyes fell on the bronze mirror behind Ming Ze, and when he saw that the person in the mirror had a yellow complexion, and his temples were already covered with frost, he couldn't help but be in a trance, and looked at it fixedly for a while, 'Haha. A desolate self-deprecating voice leaked out of the corner of his mouth.

The world is undecided, a sincere heart, half a life of travel, half a life of hard work. And today is undecided, but it is the first spot in the mirror! In such a situation, how can people not laugh at themselves?

'Your Excellency. Ming Ze called in a low voice, got up and walked to the side of the desk, and buckled the bronze mirror. Qingfu was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, waved his hand, signaled him to step back, walked to the couch himself, pulled the bed with one hand, and was upset in his heart, he actually used too much force, dragging the bed on the ground, scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, Ming Ze couldn't bear it, stepped forward and grabbed Qingfu's arm, and called in a low voice, "My lord." ’

Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Qingfu frowned slightly, turned his head and asked, 'What's the matter?' ’

Ming Ze's eyes were as bright as stars, and he smiled slyly, "My lord has been out for fifteen years, but his heart has retreated?" ’

Qingfu gently took his hand, and was stunned a little, did his heart retreat? Haha, no matter how unwilling you are, no matter how much you resist, you will never be young again! He swayed the frost flowers on his sideburns, and smiled slightly for a long time, "My king swears to win the world!" This time, Donglai will be flattened! ’

When the young man heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he approved, "Your lord is more faithful than the sun and the moon." ’

'Sun and Moon? Qingfu smiled bitterly, but his eyes were firm, "The one who is a confidant dies." ’

He leaned over and pulled the bed, turned his head and chuckled, 'Confidant? His voice suddenly added a touch of sadness, and he laughed, "Haha, confidant?" 'Do you want to be a confidant?' Can't. It's just a stepping stone, brick by brick, to build a magnificent edifice like Qi Ning.

Ming Ze turned his head and chuckled, and after a long time, he turned around and said, "This time on the front line, don't you contribute to the country?" ’

Qingfu was stunned, he didn't expect him to say such words at this time, he froze there for a while, smiled dismally, and was silent for a long time.

I opened the curtain and looked around, only to see that the night sky was as black as ink, and the stars and moon were without a trace. There were many tents in the distance, a few lights were scattered, and several figures in military uniforms flashed in line, Qingfu couldn't help but feel that he was small and powerless, and looked back and smiled, "Not in his position, not in his politics." ’

'Hah! Ming Ze smiled contemptuously, turned around and stared straight into Qingfu's eyes, his gaze was blazing, and the wind was light, "My lord thinks that the person in his position is planning to govern him?" He raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of ridicule in his voice at this time, "Don't you see, how many wine bags and rice bags are stealing from high positions and pointing fingers?" Are there still fewer parasites in the world? If the person in his position seeks his own government, what else can we say about this? ”

After hearing this, Qingfu turned his head to look at Ming Ze, who was laughing, and sneered, "In any era, there will be no shortage of such people. He suddenly remembered that when the young man returned from learning the sword, he played with the royal son, and when a grain of rice fell on the table, he picked it up and ate it without hesitation. The boy on the opposite side had an unbelievable look on his face, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he choked in his throat, just lowered his head and took care of himself. The jade plate delicacies, grapes and wine, after eating a few bites and sipping a few times, they were thrown down and brought out by a group of flattering subordinates, not knowing where they fell. At that moment, he suddenly remembered Master's teachings in his ears, 'A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by; Half a thread and half a thread, the constant thought of material resources is difficult. Suddenly there was an urgent report from Meijiucheng in front of me, words such as a long drought without rain, no harvest of grains, and starvation all over the field. Thinking of this, the food in front of me is as hard to swallow as a charcoal fire.

As a young man, he watched those subordinates pour the untouched food into the swill bucket, and couldn't help frowning, wondering, is it ...... Extravagant?

Those boys laughed loudly, put their arms around his shoulders, their greasy lips were close, their eyes almost laughed into a line, and they waved their big hands, "Alas, it's not my own money anyway!" His eyes rolled and he laughed.

When Qingfu was young, he asked, 'Who pays for it?' ’

Brother Gongzi glanced at him in surprise, and the look was clearly saying, you don't know! He stared into Qingfu's eyes, as if to confirm that he really didn't know, and laughed, "Tax! ’

'Taxation ......' Qingfu frowned, seemed to be even more confused, and muttered, 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light......

'Pedantic! The boy gave him a contemptuous look, and suddenly put on a serious and educational look, "Fool! It's for the untouchables, and you get serious, and if you don't coax them, how can they be willing to serve you? ’

It's just a pity that the untouchables are so stupid that they don't know they're enslaved. After a little appeasement, he happily shouted Mingjun, long live, without asking what he had been deprived of and what he had lost. That's why it's been enslaved for generations, and in this way, you love me, don't you? Isn't this kind of life also a kind of happiness for them, haha. The boy took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, frowned, took two mouthfuls, and scolded. The subordinates on his side held the plates, but they were submissive, for fear of snubbing these royal sons. "Haha......."

'Haha.........' The wild laughter echoed in the corridors of the Rui Palace, and the ears of the earth-shaking Qingfu were about to bleed, and the boy had laughed enough, turned around, and said, "Since they are so eager to give it to you," he took the pastry from his servant, slapped it over, and said to the frightened man, "Actually, I like to eat osmanthus cakes." When the man heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he went to look for the osmanthus cake with great gratitude. At this time, he turned around, stretched out his palms towards Qingfu, and his voice was ambiguous, making a helpless expression, "Why don't you accept it?" ’

At this moment, Ruigong Langyuan seemed to have all turned into a mirage. The sake in the sparkling cup is just like the silver light of the clear stream, reflecting the delicate eyebrows of the young man. He caught a glimpse of himself in the cup, and his brow furrowed for a moment. Looking back, the eyes full of red wine and green turned into devastation in his eyes, and he looked up and drank a glass of bitter wine, and he was nauseous for no reason. He raised his head and looked sad, and sighed in his heart, "When will we be able to sweep away the traitorous spirit of the world and return the world to a bright future!" Now, when the young man had already frosted his temples, he was still like duckweed, wandering around, and now he looked back at his ideals when he was young...... He walked towards Ming Ze step by step, and he felt heavy step by step.

He frowned, 'Contribute to the country? He sneered, "Today's boss, but the prince Ye Jin." After a pause, he looked away and sighed coldly, "It's not you and me." ’

'I can't wait to protect the public in the main war, Ping Donglai, what do you have to do with me? ’

Hearing this, Ming Ze smiled and said, "Do you still remember this matter in your heart?" ‘

The young man's eyes showed a little bit of rare sadness, a little resentment, a little sadness, and he looked away for a long time and muttered, "After fifteen years, it is inevitable that the hearts of adults will retreat." Looking back, the eyes are blazing, "Time turns, the world is impermanent, and it will always grind people's edges and corners, and break people's edges, isn't it?" ’

Although the voice was flat, it pierced the softest corner of Qingfu's heart like a sharp sword, his body shook, and a few hints of a smile crept up the corners of his mouth, he closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and waved his hand, "No." 'Just open his eyes, his eyes are like torches,' fight this body nine deaths, I don't believe that Yuehua is not surnamed Ye!" Such a vow came out of his mouth so lightly, as if a bystander were stating an eternal fact.

After hearing this, Ming Ze grinned and said, "My lord is still the same as fifteen years ago. He stepped forward, turned Qingfu's body, and said loudly, "Although we have no military power, we can still give advice and guide the battle." ’

'Oh? Qing Fu's tone was questioning, slowly brushing off his hand, bowing his head and smiling hoarsely, "Pointing to the battle? Haha, Ming Ze has won the award, 'sighed,' Ye Jin's army, there is no shortage of strategists. ’

Ming Ze looked back, his eyes firm, "There is a lack of strategists like adults. ’

'Really? As if laughing at himself, Qingfu took a few steps back, threw himself into the soft chair, and asked softly, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ’

Ming Ze smiled slyly, stepped forward and attached it to Qingfu's ear, and said slowly. Hearing this, Qingfu's eyes lit up, raised his hand and grabbed the teacup in front of him, crushed it, and sneered, "Jiang An." He turned his head to look at Ming Ze who was standing beside him, and saw his expectant gaze and nodded. He heard the sentence just now, 'Capture the thief and capture the king first.'" ’

Qingfu raised his hand and pointed at Ming Ze, seeing him smiling, he gently closed his eyes and asked, "Are there any of our people in the Xinwu army?" ’

Ming Ze thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Vice General Xingo, Mochuan Zhu." ’

As soon as the sentence came out, Qingfu suddenly opened his eyes, seemed to be a little surprised, and sneered, "Ye Jin is really capable, even Mo Chuanzhu was rebelled." He played with the fragments of the teacup that had just been crushed by himself, groaned and muttered, "Are you already a lieutenant?" He suddenly turned his head, and his voice was firm, "This person is in a high position, so he will not move for the time being." You think, who else can get close to Jiang'an? Best...... It's a subordinate maid or something. ’

Ming Ze was stunned, pondered for a long time, and found nothing, so he had to spread his hands and bow his head, "My subordinates don't know." ’

Qingfu closed his eyes at this time, as if he was reminiscing about a long-ago story, and there was a strange look on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or happiness. He opened his eyes, his eyes were full of sadness, and he whispered, 'There is another person,' and he closed his eyes again, and his voice was desolate, and ...... and his hand shook, and the fragments of the teacup pierced the skin and cut into the blood, and in the blink of an eye a red color had flowed.

Seeing him look like this, Ming Ze didn't know why in his heart, and he was puzzled, "I don't know what the adults are referring to......

'Cui Jinniang. As if in extreme pain, he didn't want to mention that name again, and it took a long time to squeeze those three words out of Qingfu's throat.

'It's her!' When Ming Ze heard this, he was suddenly shocked, his eyes were sad, and he raised his hand to persuade, "My lord......"

Qingfu opened his eyes and looked at his left hand, although the silver ring on his ring finger was stained with blood, it was still shining undiminished, he closed his eyes, turned his head and ripped off the ring with one hand, and handed it to Mingze, his voice was bleak, but it was unwavering. 'You've got a lot of things to do. The force was so strong that the pain on the ring finger was as if it had been torn. When I closed my eyes, I saw that day eighteen years ago, the ancient road of the remnant sun, the ethereal lonely Hong, the newlywed Yan'er, sent you on the expedition. She condensed her blue clothes, warmed the wine, choked a handful of tears, and said softly, "Husband, Jin Niang is waiting for you to return for the rest of your life." He remembered that he had gazed at her and drunk the glass of wine, yes, he must have drunk it then.

Ming Ze lost his mind for a while, but he didn't catch the ring, it clanged to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped. Ming Ze leaned over and picked it up, glancing at the place where the ring fell, just after being stained with blood, this time it rolled down, staining the jade steps. Ming Ze held it in his palm, looked back at his voice sadly, and asked, 'My lord, can you bear it?' ’

'Haha. I heard him chuckle, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, 'Go down.' ”

The night is getting thicker, although it is a hot summer, at this time, there is a slight cold, Qingfu raised his hand to open the tent, raised his eyes to look at the sky, the breeze is blowing, the clouds cover the thin moon, and the fog fills the hills. "Haha." He laughed out loud in his heart, and Mrs. Shisu's grim look swept in front of him, "If Jiang An dies, I want you to be buried with the whole Qi Ning!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were playful, and he said, "Today, I want him to die, Zisu, what can you do with me?" ”
